You're right Jilly, it's a fine line sometimes. I find myself often attracted to details but I admire the larger views (especially in nature) that some photographers do so well. They just don't seem so creative to me.

Amen. I just came back after taking a photography workshop, and the best point the instructor made was "get close." Not necessarily physically close, but use the lens to get the image close. Great illustration of this important point.

After six years in Australia and five years of city life in Avignon I moved to the countryside near the small village of Beaumes-de-Venise. Once dedicated to street photography my blog has since taken a more rural note but the beautiful region of Provence is an constant source of inspiration.
